O'BRIEN IN CANADA.

WILLIAM O'BRIEN, the EDITOR OF
United Ireland, evidently intends 70
make this warm summer for the gov
ernor general of Canada. He intends
TO see that Lord LANsDowNE shall reap
the full harvest of his broken promises
to his Irish tenantry. There seems to
be abundant proof that his lordship dis
played eowardly duplicity in his deal
mgS with his Queens county tenants.
These poor people asked a moderate re-
duction in their rents, which was refused
them at first; but when Lord LANs-
DoWNE found out that Mr.. O'BRIEN and
some of the evicted tenants were going
to carry out their threat to come to
Canada and make things lively for his
lordship in the Dominion, he Knocked
under. He agreed to make the reduc-
ton asked for, and relying upon his
promises, the proposed visit to Canada
was abandoned by Mr.. O'BRIEN and his
associates. AS soon as LANSDowNE
found out that the excursion to Canada
had been abandoned, he instructed his
agents to throw the compromise over
board and TO collect rents as formerly.
This is one of the meanest instances of
bad faith on record. Now that Mr..
. BaEN has gone to Canada with. the
proof of LANSDOwYE'S duplicity and
tyranny, we are mistaken in the char
acter OF the Canadian people if he
doesn't awaken public Indignation in
the Dominion which will result in LANS-
DowNE's overthrow and complete humil-
iatinn

A SALOON FIGHT.
Begun Over a Dog and Ending in
Murder.

CLEVELAND, May 12.-AnOther afro
cious murder was committed in Cleve-
land this morning, but, unlike previous
affairs of this nature. the supposed
murderer is safely locked up in the CEN
trail police station. The murdered man
was first noticed in Robertson Il Nichols
saloon, on st. Clair street, near the
Cleveland theater, few minutes before
l O'Clock this morning. He was not in
toXlcated, to all appearances, but
seemed TO be i'll rather cOmbatiVe
mood. While he was in the place five or
six other visitors became involved in a
quarrel over bull dog. Some person
took otfense at a remark the owner
made to him, and fight seemed immi-
nent. The stranger stepped up and ell
gagged III conversation with the man,
who, it is believed, afterwards killed
him. The stranger was told that if she
did not keep lis mouth shut he would
get rap on the jaw" Suddenly one of
the men struck the stranger a heavy
DloW, evidently in the face, and he fell
to the stone sidewalk. His assailant
stood over him a moment and left. fol-
lowed by the crowd. A patrol wagon
was summoned and the wounded
man was taken to the central station.
lie was placed on Stretcher in the cor
ridor and soon afterward died. The muir
derer proves to be fellow named Bill
Higgins. desperate character, and the
victim Harry German, sailor.
AT the post mortem examination this
afternoon 1t was discovered that Cor
mans neck was dislocated. and that his
skull was fractured. Higgins was
charged with murder in the second de-
gree and locked up without the benefit
of bail. Gorman'S mother is house
keeper in the family of United States

A Novel Suggestion.
To the Editor of the Globe.

10 the Editor OF the Globe.
Some in terrOgatorieS for the Law and
Order league to answer: Is the belief
that Sunday should be observed as a
day of religious worship, as a day of
abstinence from recreation and amuSe-
ment, or as day of general rest from
labor, of purely religious origin? Are
any of the Jews, or any of those Chris
tianS who hold to the Jewish Sabbath,
or any of those other Christians who OBJ
serve Sunday in part as day of re-
ligious worship and in part as a holiday,
or any of that very numerous class of
unbelieverS denOminated worlds
people" in favor of the legal enforce
ment of any such observance of Sunday?
Do not these classes constitute ma
jOrity of all of the people in this coun-
try? Does not every mans natural
right to the pursuit of happiness" in
clude the right of private Judgment and
choice as to the proper manner of spend
ing Sunday as much as it does to the
manner of spending any other day of
the week? Would not the legal enforce
ment of any mans or class of mems
particular views as to the proper man
ner of spending Sunday be an infringe
ment upon the religious liberty of every
other man who differed with him or
them upon that subject? In view of the
great diversity of opinions as to the Sab
bath and as to the manner of keeping
it, would it not be the wiser and safer
policy to take the whole subject out Of
politics, out of the legislatures and out
of the courts and relegate it to the evan-
gelsts? w. O. L.

Is the peoples" Ice. company Or

privilege of doing as it pleaSes without

reality public institution, and the com

For more than week have been try

one delivery-the first day-although l

PARNELL'S HEALTH.

1t is easy to understand the general
meaSineSS felt by all true friends of Ire
land at the continued rumors regarding
NELL'S health. 1t is, especially at the
present juncture, of the most vital conSe-
quence that PARNELL should retain his
mental and physical vigor unimpaired.
There are indications that Ireland may
soon see the fruition of her long-deferred
hopes, the conSummatiOn of all that she
has dreampt of and fought for, but before
she reaches the goal there are obstacles
to be surmounted and difficulties to be
removed. There is more than ever the
need of wise, energetic and untiring
leadership. The Irish people have
learned to have unb0unded confidence,
faith well deserved, in PARNEI.L as that
leader, and it would be almost
the direst mischance that could
befall them should they now be
deprived of his counsel and direction.
The anxiety then that attends every re-
port as to his condition is natural
enough, and it would seem that there is
but one way to allay it and to insure his
devotion for many years yet to the
service of the people, whose cause ''the
uncrowned king" has so nobly cham
piOned. He should be relieved from the
mass of detailed work, the exactions of
the parliamentary skirmishing in the
thick of which he is always to found,
and the less important executive work
which devolves upon him. In short,
PARNELL should take upon himself
none of the tasks which can safely be
placed upon the shoulders of his lieuten-
ants, for there are many of them, and
but one PARNEII.

GOLD IN ST. PAUL.

The statement that a contractor en-
gagged in grading one of st. Pauls
streets came across gold bearing ore in
the process of eXcavating may have an
ancient and tiSh-like odor to our Eastern
friends, but it is a fact that gold has
been taken out of st. Paul dirt very
many times i'll the past and will be
taken out for an indefinite time in the
future. Not. of course. the shining
placer gold for which men so eagerly
delye. nor yet the rich collaborating
quartz which has i'll the West been the
foundation OF so many colossal fortunes,
but nevertheless that which, consider
ing its purchasing power, is as good
gold as ever the greatest bonanza mine
bore in its b0Som-the profits of invest
mentS in st. Paul real estate.
Every person who has invested in that
kind of property, has found in his lots
or acreage as sure a return, though
perhaps on smaller scale, as was ever
given by a veritable gold mine; and
further, the mines which produce the
kind of gold which every investor in st.
Paul dirt is sure to find are in no dam
ger of being worked out. So long as
the city continues its wonderful record
of progress, so long as it continues to
fulfill every prophecy made regarding
its growth and greatness, the judicious
investor will continue to strike pay dirt
III this sense, then. it is 10 idle fiction
D. say that gold has been found in the
oreetS of st. Paul, and it is no Boosting
0sertiOu to maintain that for untold

A HARMLESS NOMINATION.

The New York Herald continues to
run HENRY w. GRADY as the Demo-
cratic candidate for vice president. AS
the Herald's nomination is probably the
only one Mr.. GRADY will ever get, that
gentleman ought to enjoy the canvass
while it lasts. He has an open field and
a clean sweep with his newspaper nom
nation, and there is no reason why it
should not afford him an immense deal
of diversion. 1t will give Mr.. GRADY a
chance to enjoy summer vacation, as
his fences will need no looking aft ter,
lnasmuch as there is no opposition can
didate to knock them down. When the
time comes around for the Democratic
National convention to assemble, Mr..
GRADY will find the work of getting
bona fide nomination from representa-
tive body entirely different from the
class of nominations that are made in
the back offices of newspaper establish
ments. MI. GRADY'S chief claim tor
